Memes now, news later

Meme #1 is one I got from everloyal

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

The Facts:

• 1462 - Vlad III Dracula attempts to assassinate Mehmed II in the Night Attack , and the latter is forced to retreat from Wallachia.
• 1631 - Mumtaz Mahal died during childbirth. Her husband, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan I, then spent more than 20 years to build her tomb, the Taj Mahal.
• 1885 - The Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor.
  

Births:

• 1703 - John Wesley, English founder of Methodism  (d. 1791)
• 1946 - Barry Manilow, American musician
  

Death:

• 1957 - Dorothy Richardson, English writer (b. 1873) 

Meme #2 is the Six Random Facts wallah, for which I was tagged by bellatook
1.  I prefer salty to sweet.
2.  I have never broken a bone, but I cracked a rib coughing.
3.  In all the time my hubby and I have traveling to and fro internationally, we have never had our luggage lost.
4.  I majored in French and Spanish in university, but if you ask me to say something, only Urdu will come out.
5.  I adore raspberries.
6.  I have LOTS of freckles.

Meme #3 is the My LJ interests collage, hopefully it will work!

Ah, well, since I'm here, I might as well post my news!  :-D

• I had a routine test done at the hospital today that went well, and wasn't too troublesome.  ;-)
• I had a nice time wandering about the mall afterwards looking at things.  I looked in at Gap, but they were all out of (RED) products for the time being.  Click on (RED) if you don't know what I am talking about.
• My main work today other than driving around town involved putting a newsletter in zipcode order.  Ugh.  I am not yet finished....  *yawn*
• Tomorrow is a no computer day for me, in case you look around and wonder where I am!  Fear not, I will catch up on everyone on Thursday.

Hope you enjoyed my memes!  See you all on Thursday!

June 17th had been a National Holiday in Germany until the Reunification, remembering the uprising of the people in East Germany that had been quelled by Sovjet troops.

(((((Lin))))). I am glad about the test that went well. You had some cool facts from your day! I also love the interests collage.

I am glad the test went well!

I'll be needing a new phone in a few months and I put myself on the list for the Red phone. They weren't available in the US yet when I signed up. I hope it works out that I can get one! The profit from the phone as well as a portion of my calling fees would go to Red while I have the phone.

Hi! The Red phone sounds like a really good deal, you know? I just stopped in at Gap again today, but they didn't have their new shipment yet -- or at least, not out on the shelves. But they assured me they would be getting things in at regular intervals, so I'll keep checking back. In the meantime, I can save my pennies so I can maybe buy one of those really soft tshirts!
